2010 release. Aimless Device was mainly Bart Azijn (electronics, words; also in A Blaze Colour) and Patrick Meulemans (guitars) from Belgium, produced by no other than Ludo Camberlin (A Blaze Colour), and later also TB Frank (of The Neon Judgement fame). They released four 12" EPs on Ludo's Anything But Records label: Hard to Be Nice (1985), World of Coats (1986), Dog Days (1987) and Mud in the Eye (1987) as well as a few tracks on various compilations. Their sound was typical mid-'80s dark wave (or something in between gothic rock and synth-pop) with a Roland TR-707 drum machine along with lots of synthesizers, guitars and basses -- think of Weimar Gesang, They Fade In Silence, Moloko +, Belfegore, Die Unbekannten, or Days Of Sorrow, for example. This CD compiles all tracks from their vinyl releases, thus including their hit "Hyena," plus adding two more tracks to the list.
